How do you change true type font size?
« on: January 07, 2012, 03:20:47 am »

Recently started running into CTD issues with Ironhand, its related to this:

Someone in that ticket reccomended Gentium, i overwrote my font.ttf with that, and it looks fine and no more crashes. Just one major problem: the font is very small, and I barely read it.

How do you change the true type font size?

If no one's replying, it's because they have no idea :)

Which at this point, I might add, I have no idea ;)

I don't believe you can.  However, I've uploaded a font to DFFD that works very well.

That font is fine but I still CTD when I look at certain dwarves inventory, the gentium shit worked fine its just so tiny >_<

I guess I will just wait for the next DF or live with the CTDs

Well, that's most of the issue.  Size causes crashes, and tiny font gives smaller display size.  You could try editing the dwarven language file to make smaller words and thus shorter titles.

I guess it's not even the size persay which is the issue, it's the thickness of the font.

Just hurts my eyes:
